RYBNITSA CITIZENS COMPLAIN OF DETERIORATION OF ECOLOGIC SITUATION

30.10.2007

Tiraspol. The members of the Transnistrian Supreme Council's standing committee for social policy, health protection and ecology consider it necessary to strengthen control over ejections of harmful productions. The Parliamentarians intend to demand from the authorities to take urgent measures for improving the ecological situation, in particular in Rybnitsa.

The pretext for discussing this situation in the Rybnitsa raion by the committee were numerous complaints of the deterioration of the ecological situation on the part of local residents. In particular, they complained of admixtures in the air and on dust sediments, as a consequence of the activities of two large plants - - the metallurgical and cement-sheeting ones.

Representatives of the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources failed to present the data on the ejections and remarked only that they do not have a free access to these plants.

Vice-Minister Aleksandr Kozelsky said that they succeeded in taking pictures of how a cloud of cement dust was falling on a part of the Rybnitsa raion.

"It was a random ejection without any necessary cleaning. However, we cannot document it and impose a fine on the plant as the law says", he said.

Parliamentarians spoke out for checking the enterprise's execution of their investment obligations in respect of environment protection measures, the reconsideration of the contribution size to the ecological fund, the strengthening of control over observing ecological norms for harmful productions.

In Deputy Chairman Valery Chernvooky's opinion, Transnistria should pay more attention to the upgrading of purification works, to toughen penalties for violating ecological standards.
